Half a month later, they left Star Dou Forest and arrived at Canghui Academy.
Wang Sheng also understood which academy he had joined. It was Canghui Academy, the number one villain academy of Douluo No. 1 Middle School.
Did they remember the saying, "Those who dared not cause trouble were mediocre?"
Canghui Academy was the best example of that saying. Back then, its students had been instantly defeated by Xiao Wu! Its teacher, Ye Zhiqiu, had been thoroughly beaten by Zhao Wuji!
During the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, Shi Nian, the team leader and a formidable spiritual-type Soul Master, had encountered Tang San, who cultivated the Purple Demon Eye.
Not only had his assassination attempt failed, but he had become a delivery man instead. He lost his life and even handed over a Spirit Bone.
It was simply unbelievable!
To be honest, Wang Sheng really looked down on Canghui Academy somewhat. However, he had already promised Xue Yue, so he could not go back on his word.
Besides, Xue Yue's presence proved that Canghui Academy was not filled entirely with useless teachers.
Most importantly, Canghui Academy was at least qualified to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament. That meant he would have a chance to compete against Tang San during the tournament.
They would see who the true protagonist was!
Canghui Academy.
The Vice Dean's office.
An elderly man in his sixties studied Wang Sheng and Mei Hu with a benevolent expression.
"Teacher Xue Yue, you want these two little ones to join the academy? But you must understand that this is not enrollment season. It does not comply with the academy's rules!"
Upon hearing the Vice Dean's words, Xue Yue immediately grew anxious. "But Vice Dean, their talents are truly exceptional. If they have to wait until next year to enroll, it would simply be a waste of their talent!"
"Hm?"
He knew Xue Yue well. Although she was young, she was exceptionally steady. Her talent was also excellent, and she was one of the teachers the academy was grooming as a key candidate for the next dean.
If even she said their talent was exceptional, then it had to rank among the best in the academy.
He could not help hesitating. The academy's rules were important, but talented students were even more important!
"Very well! Teacher Xue Yue, give me a reason to be persuaded!"
A smile immediately appeared on Xue Yue's face. Since the Vice Dean had said that, there was clearly hope.
She immediately pointed at Mei Hu. "Her name is Mei Hu. She is six years old, a Level 16 one-ring Soul Master. She possesses the special Mei Hu martial soul, and her soul skill has petrification abilities!"
"Six years old, a Level 16 one-ring Soul Master? A special martial soul?"
The Vice Dean froze for a moment, then his eyes widened in shock. Even the academy's greatest genius could not compare to her!
No academy would be willing to miss a genius of this caliber. Before such talent, rules were not a problem.
"Good! I agre—"
"Dean, rules are rules! How can you make an exception for one person?"
At that moment, a beautiful woman around Xue Yue's age entered, her face full of righteous indignation.
However, from the way she looked at Teacher Xue Yue, Wang Sheng caught a trace of malice in her eyes.
It seemed this person had a conflict with Teacher Xue Yue! And it was no ordinary conflict! Still, why was Canghui Academy full of people like this?
Thinking of that, he glanced at the Vice Dean and thought, Fortunately, this Vice Dean seems decent. Otherwise, this academy truly wouldn't be worth staying in.
Xue Yue merely glanced calmly at the newcomer without saying a word. Clearly, she did not take this person seriously. It also showed Xue Yue's pride—not just anyone could provoke her anger.
When the newcomer saw how Xue Yue ignored her, she exploded. She could no longer conceal the hatred in her heart, and the righteousness she had feigned instantly vanished, replaced by fury.
"Xue Yue, don't think you can ignore me just because your cultivation is stronger than mine! Don't forget, I am the academy's Director of Admissions! Whether they enter the academy or not is up to me!"
"Outrageous!"
Before Xue Yue could speak, the Vice Dean became angry.
"Vice Dean, I—"
"Ji Bing, don't forget that your grandfather spent his entire life building this academy. Do you want to see it all go to ruin?"
"Tell me, with this child's talent, which academy would not fight to have her? Yet you want to turn her away?"
"You were given the position of Director of Admissions so that you could recruit more students and more geniuses for the academy. It was a sign of trust, not permission for you to act however you pleased!"
"I..."
Ji Bing could not find the slightest argument against the Vice Dean's words. She also thought of her grandfather, the dean of Canghui Academy, Ji Changtian!
"Phew."
Ji Bing took a deep breath. "Vice Dean, I was wrong! That girl's talent is indeed extraordinary, and she may enroll. But that boy cannot!"
After saying that, Ji Bing swept a smug glance over Xue Yue. "Hmph, I refuse to believe he is just as outstanding. Could it be that you happened to pick up two six-year-old Level 16 geniuses at once?"
The Vice Dean covered his forehead and thought, It seems Ji Bing still cannot swallow this grievance!
However, he could not find any reason to object. After all, exceptions were only made for geniuses. An ordinary student wanted the academy to make an exception?
Not a chance!
"Wang Sheng, introduce yourself, then release your soul rings! Let this ignorant fool see what a true genius looks like!"
"Hm? Could it be...?"
The Vice Dean froze and looked toward Wang Sheng.
Ji Bing's smug expression instantly stiffened. Although she was targeting Xue Yue, she trusted Xue Yue's character. Xue Yue would never joke about something like this.
"Giggle." Mei Hu covered her mouth as she laughed, because she could already imagine the expressions on their faces when they saw Wang Sheng's thousand-year soul ring.
"Wang Sheng, six years old. Martial soul: Blazing Blade. A Level 23 two-ring assault-type Soul Grandmaster."
"Six years old, Level 23?"
The Vice Dean and Ji Bing instantly went blank, their faces practically screaming, "I'm ignorant, so don't lie to me."
But in the next moment, Wang Sheng's martial soul appeared in his hand, while two soul rings emerged alongside it.
Especially the purple of the Second Soul Ring—it was so dazzling that they could barely keep their eyes open!
"A thousand-year Second Soul Ring???"
They were no longer fixated on Level 23, because the two soul rings had already proven that fact.
What they could not understand was how the Second Soul Ring could possibly be a thousand-year one.
Forget seeing it—they had never even heard of such a thing.
Yet it had truly appeared before their eyes. One could only imagine how shocked they were. Their eyes, wide as ox eyes, and their stunned expressions explained everything.
"So, may Wang Sheng join?"
